Of all our journeys, we rate Papua New Guinea
number one for its people, wildlife and scenery.Located on the eastern side of the New Guinea Island, every
part of the country is a trip in itself.In
the highlands the men wear only a banana leaf on the lower part of their body
and a colored wig on their head, and they still have clan battles with spears.The islands offer another culture with seafood and yams as their main
diet.The Sepik River has a
crocodile tradition that continues to perform the painful puberty rite on their
young men.Keith and I were guests
of the Melanesian Discoverer, a luxury catamaran ship that sails around the
island and the rivers of PNG.
